LMFAO, I don't know how you can say "they refused to try" and then the next sentence describe in detail how you ("we") refused to try when you had a golden opportunity without feeling like a complete moron (not to mention the prior 8 months of refusing to try, lol).
Well, technically the source is the CIA agent who he is interviewing. I've seen this guy all over the news, so you can probably find the gist of this from an acceptable outlet if that is what you require...
I'm pretty damn sure I saw explosions on the news at Tora Bora. Two bombs is better than one for sure. "Golden Opportunity" pre- and post-9/11 mean very different things. Bin Laden was much more of a target post-9/11.
That's not the excuse. They had him cornered in a cave, with people on the ground to get him out. You think the US special forces aren't trained for that task? What happened? "We didn't push the point." The excuse is not, "we tried and two bombs is better than one but hey sometimes we don't get no breaks" The excuse is "We didn't push the point." This happened AFTER September 11. "We didn't push the point." My god, if September 11 wasn't grounds to push the point....what is? Scary, I'm glad you pasted that for me giddyup, I wouldn't have known that they were that incompetent otherwise.
"We didn't push the point." Ummmm. Tora Bora occurred after 9/11. What about the post 9/11 mindset the wingnuts are always bleating about? This is what makes Bush's failure to commit the necessary troops on the ground to capture or kill Bin Laden at Tora Bora all the more galling. Somehow, going after Bin Laden immediately after 9/11, when we knew where he was, didn't justify deploying tens of thousands of troops, but attacking Iraq justified deploying over 100,000. This is so absurd it is almost beyond belief.
I would guess that having bin Laden around to identify confederates and methods and resources was of more value. We didn't throw all of our resources in WWII into killing Hitler or Hirohito or Mussolllini. This is war not crime.
This is a new one. Bush didn't commit sufficient resources to get Bin Laden because he might be killed and we would lose a chance to interrogate him? Holy Jeebus where do you get this stuff. Then you follow that with the totally non-sensical statement (given your earlier statement) about this being war not crime, right after describing methods much more suited to fighting crime (capture and questioning) than war (killing). giddy you are on a roll.
I watched Imus this morning. I didnt hear anyone talk about anyone in the Clinton White House undermining this other than Dick Morris. I don't exactly think Morris is credible on anything.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/12/60minutes/main655407.shtml Here's what Scheuer said in a 2004 interview: Interfered too much? Clearly he didn't interfere enough. So Scheuer had a person vendetta against Clarke to the point that he says criticism from him is a "badge of honor." Scheuer was a middle manager, paranoid freak who had no inside knowledge about what Clinton did/did not know outside of the CIA and even that is questionable.
Actually it isn't war and it is crime/law enforcement. The "War on Terror" is a more overt "War on Drugs" because there is no one nation (or coalition of nations) to topple and because there is no real ending point for victory. At home the war on terror is a law enforce initiative to be sure. Abroad, as I said, it is simply more overt because instead of sending in special ops to take out drug targets we sent our military to break terror cells and attempt to bring in "dead or alive" A-Q leaders. If you really think that this is a "hot war" then you have no idea what that means and you have no concept of military history. This war will and can never be won and will only end when some new administration in the future makes an arbitrary declaration of victory and future preparedness, but terrorism can be limited/reduced due to law enforcement.
This makes Bush's incredible failure (willfull negligence) all the more galling. We committed how many troops to Iraq while Bush candidly remarked "I'm not concerned about him [Osama]"? Both from the same press conference.
giddy, what did you base this statement on? "We didn't throw all of our resources in WWII into killing Hitler or Hirohito or Mussolllini." Can you give me some documentation for this one? If we didn't throw "all our resources" at killing Hitler, I'd like to see proof. Do you honestly believe we could have killed him, had we used the resources, and that we chose not to?? As for Benito Mussolini, there is no proof we didn't "use all our resources" to kill him, either, but in his case, we were probably better off with him alive, because he was so incompetent as a military leader. Hirohito? You have no proof regarding him, either. Geez! And this war is a crime, the war in Iraq, one that Bush should be impeached for, in my opinion. I have been of the opinion that doing that would reduce the Democratic Party to the incredibly low level of the Republican Party, and was a bad idea, but reading stuff like this is enough to make me change my mind. BTW, I agree with Rimmy that the so-called "war on terror," is a law enforcement issue, and not a war in the generally accepted way the world has known since time out of mind. Bush uses the term to frighten the American people into being stupid enough to vote for him and the leadership of his party, who have been criminally negligent in the "performance," of their duties, have lied, and continue to lie to the American people about the invasion and occupation of Iraq, have broken the law regarding the Geneva Conventions, and have ignored the Constitution of the United States... all worthy of many years behind bars. Keep D&D Civil.
One sentence at a time... Are you saying Bin Laden is working for us? Are you saying we've captured him and are interrogating him? Are you saying that we know where he is and can easily track him, and thus are able to identify who he talks with and glean his methods? You are saying this after W said "Dead or Alive?" What are you saying? We certainly threw all our resources into defeating the countries they led. Look at the maps below and consider the technology available from 1941-1945. How could you specifically target Hirohito or Hitler?

We're fighting a war on several fronts and the white house is wasting time knocking on the last president from a term and a half ago. Yeah, that's professional. I'm so sick of this juvenile administration and the sheep that follow them blindly.
You miss the point because all you have in mind is ridicule. It is revenge to be so focused on killing bin Laden. Revenge is not very military. They were prosecuting a war against a loose and fluid coatlition of non-uniformed combatants. Don't expect normal. It's called espionage, duh. Bin Laden is the one they were all communicating with. It was his organization, remember. I believe they kept some pressureon him to keep the lines of communication up between OBL and his loonies. That is called chatter. Our military uses it against the enemy.
Deafeating the Countries is not the same as killing the Leader. That is exactly what I was saying to those who would only be satisfied with OBL on a stick.
Where do you see White House involvement in any of this? Clinton made it news. Condi responded to his claims.
